We all should be outraged at this type of mistreatment of an employee!! We have a right NOT to do business with places like these.

Agreed. I would love to get this guy's answer specifically as to why and what he was thinking. I bet the answer will be as shocking as that fact that it happened in the first place. Perhaps even more so.

Mr. Hillard needs to learn a thing or two about karma. Not that I'd ever wish cancer on anyone, but odds are someone that he knows and loves will be affected by it at some point. It's the support of people like Ms. Fearnall that will hopefully one day help us find a cure. Until then, she's welcome to come work with me anytime.

This story reminds me of a TV show called "Felicity" where the actor/character also cut her lovely locks. It caused a huge fuss amongst viewers and the ratings dropped. Can something as benign as hair really have THAT much impact on others?

I wonder why?

Shouldn't all wait staff be required to shave their hair? But than there would be fewer suprises on the plate, and diners would have to actually converse.

Shining a light on this incident also helps the millions of men, women and children who lose their hair to autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata.Bald Girls Do Lunch Inc specifically helps women across the country by meeting intentionally in public restaurants. The group's fun and highly effective support and strategy sessions mainstream public awareness and acceptance about female baldness. When bald women choosing to leave their wigs at home are as readily accepted as bald men, there will be fewer incidents like this. Advice to Mr. Hillard: what a public relations coup if you ask Bald Girls to Do Lunch at your place.
